Hi, new to the site and i am scheduled for open roux en y surgery this friday. I am very nervous but very happy, its been a long process and i am finally here at the finish line. I live in Philly and am having it done at University of Penn. Is anyone else here from philly and had their surgery done at HUP?

Good luck to you. I just had my surgery on 2/9 and feel great. I know this was the best decision I have made(other than getting married). Good luck and the nerves will go away!

 My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday!  I am also getting the RNY, although, laproscopically.  I have the same emotions, I think it is probably normal to have some nerves and excitement mixed!  I hope your surgery goes well!

It is absolutely normal to be nervous and apprehensive.  You'll do fine and once you have the surgery, you will start your new life.  There's a lot to get used to but it's soooooo worth it!

Best wishes to all people scheduled for their surgeries this week!!
